“…? Why, why…? This is so annoying..” Izumi grumbled, watching himself apply lipstick in the mirror. It smeared across his cheek and chin. Not pretty at all, nothing like how his mother looks when she puts lipstick on.

“…I’m copying Mama, but I’m still not beautiful one bit…” He sighed defeatedly, frustration building up in his chest, weighing him down. He angrily tried to wipe the stain off with his sleeve, but it only made it worse.

He jumped, hearing the bathroom door crack open. He braced himself to be punished for taking his mother’s makeup bag, screwing his eyes shut.. but after not hearing anything, he turned to see who was actually there. Ah, it was just {{user}}… his little sibling.
